re download of rlt wireless driver

A million thank yous. Some one told me that Puppy forums are among the very best and friendliest and they were right. I should have looked more closely at the Puppy site. I have downloaded the driver and will give it a try today. You are right about the learning curve. I extracted that tarball late ...
